+<DT>1.
+<DD>Station identifiers C may be up to 10 characters long,
+and station names NAME may be up to 40 characters long.
+<DT>2.
+<DD>C and N are <I>alternative</I> ways of specifying the observing
+ station. The C option, which is the most generally useful,
+ may be selected by specifying an N value of zero or less.
+ If N is 1 or more, the parameters of the Nth station
+ in the currently supported list are interrogated, and
+ the station identifier C is returned as well as NAME, W,
+ P and H.
+ <DT>3.
+<DD>If the station parameters are not available, either because
+ the station identifier C is not recognized, or because an
+ N value greater than the number of stations supported is
+ given, a name of `?' is returned and W, P and H are left in
+ their current states.
+ <DT>4.
+<DD>Programs can obtain a list of all currently supported
+ stations by calling the routine repeatedly, with N=1,2,3...
+ When NAME=`?' is seen, the list of stations has been
+ exhausted. The stations at the time of writing are listed
+ below.
+ <DT>5.
+<DD>Station numbers, identifiers, names and other details are
+ subject to change and should not be hardwired into
+ application programs.
+ <DT>6.
+<DD>All station identifiers C are uppercase only; lower case
+ characters must be converted to uppercase by the calling
+ program. The station names returned may contain both upper-
+ and lowercase. All characters up to the first space are
+ checked; thus an abbreviated ID will return the parameters
+ for the first station in the list which matches the
+ abbreviation supplied, and no station in the list will ever
+ contain embedded spaces. C must not have leading spaces.
+ <DT>7.
+<DD>IMPORTANT - BEWARE OF THE LONGITUDE SIGN CONVENTION. The
+ longitude returned by sla_OBS is
+ <B>west-positive</B>, following the pre-1984 <I>Astronomical
+ Almanac</I>. However, this sign convention is left-handed and is
+ the opposite of the one now used; elsewhere in
+ SLALIB the preferable east-positive convention is used. In
+ particular, note that for use in sla_AOP, sla_AOPPA and
+ sla_OAP the sign of the longitude must be reversed.
+ <DT>8.
+<DD>Users are urged to inform the author of any improvements
+ they would like to see made. For example:
+ <UL>
+<LI> typographical corrections
+<LI> more accurate parameters
+<LI> better station identifiers or names
+<LI> additional stations
+ </UL></DL>
